    Oh..
    Just after DD was delivered she started crying (i assume most/all babies do)...
    DP stoned off her face on gas starts to get hysterical .. "WHYYYYY is she crying????" ...

    DP was also 8cm before having a peth/morph? injection, and it was the first and pretty much only time she swore through the whole labor. There may have been a couple more but none like when she got the injection.. quote:
    "F$#@ F#$@ F#@#@$@!!!!!" .... You would think it hurt more than being in labor? I couldnt help but laugh when that came out.
    I'll have you know injections hurt! Although I had mine in my back, DURING a contraction - I whaled like a freaking banshee!

    At some stage I turned around to my mum and said "Why didn't you tell me it was going to be this bad!!". I also through the gas mask across the room when she kept offering it to me. Next time I'll be informing her of my birth plan in case she does end up there.

    I was cautious not to swear because my grandma was there and I didn't want to swear in front of her. I would also scream between contractions and tell anyone that spoke to me to shut the hell up, but like Sal would say please and thankyou, or apologise profusely every time I burped!

    well i had a few funny things while using the gas.
    when i first started using it everytime someone looked at me i would laugh and hide under the pillow.
    DH had a jumper that had a zipper go across the middle of it and i thought it was a mouth talkin to me.
    I kept making horse noises.
    when the midwives changed shifts the new one turned the gas down lower then wat i first started out with so when she walked away i told DH to turn it back up she popped her head around the corner and told me that he cant do that. when i thought she left again i was told him to turn it up again when she leaves the room. then i hear a i am still in here so i reply with no ur not lol.
    also when the midwife told me it would be a hr b4 they would check me to see if i could have a epi i started yelling really really loud. it only took them about 10min till they checked me and i was aloud the epi lol.

    This stuff is classic GOLD!!!!

    With DD1 I was sucking on gas having a HUGE episiotomy stitched. I told the Doc he can just keep on going and stitch the whole thing up, cos there is NO WAY a single thing is going in or coming out of there EVER AGAIN!!!!

    And then with DD2 I had a very quick labour. DH missed it. At one stage the MW asked me if I would like to just breathe through a few contractions and give him a bit more time to get there. I said "HELL NO! he's seen it all before, lets get it over with!"
